Carnegie Hall wants you to explore the best parts of Venetian culture with a city wide celebration to help deepen your knowledge and love for the floating city with epic parties, beautiful performances, and insightful talks.

Many know Venice has a fantastical floating city, filled in gondolas gliding down canals and masked revelers living a life most grand. That vision of the Italian city is glorious, yet a new hundred years past, dating from before the Napoleon era in the late 1700's, although the memories of that grand time still exist.

Carnegie Hall is celebrating the hay day of La Serenissima - the name the Venetian Republic was affectionately called - with an 18-day city wide festival joining forces with musicians, artists, historians, researchers, and more to create a program that will transport you.

See performances from the stars of tomorrow at the Juilliard School with Shakespeare's Othello and Handel’s Agrippina. Experience the evocative spectacle that is Dance of Vice at the Grand Prospect Hall with a themed night filled with burlesque, circus, dance and more. Join Virginia Cox has she moderates a panel discussion on the early feminists and creative women, plus many more.
